A Baby's Winter Outfit.

To the many mothers who find TIE
question of ways and means one diff
cult to solve, the story of how a moth
er made her baby's Winter outfit at
very small cost may give suggestions
of help.
Baby Hal. year and half old, was
plentifully supplied with warm indoor
clothing, wearing a woolen shirt, fam
mel skirt, white flannel dress, cambria
petticoat and dress, with gingham
aprons of pin-head check for playing
about the floor. But the matter of out
door raiment it was which his mother
pondered
A discarded coat of Halls papa, very
shiny, but of excellent fabric, supplied
the material for baby's cloak. 1t was
ripped, sponged, pressed, and turned
wrong side out. and cut in short-waist-
ed Gretchen shape into very pretty
and stylish little garment. A half yard
of velvet of the same brown, costing rs
cents, made a deep collar, cuffs, and
wide belt A clasp for the belt at so
cents, a half-dOzen buttons ut II cents,
and yard and half of farmers satin
for lining, costing 80 cents, were the
other materials purchased. The coat
is as comfortable and pretty garment
as could be desired, and cost Just $40.
1t is very becoming, the dark velvet
setting off the fair hair and hower-like
face; and as it comes quite to babv's
feet, and the upper part has an inter
lining of wadding, it is quite warm
enough for even a New England VIM
ter.
For head-gear to match, the brown
velvet which mamma had worn two
Winters as a bonnet was put over a
Normandy-cap frame, wadded and
lined with silk. A full plating of lace
was put around the front, and a pretty,
| warm hood was the result, without one
cent of outlay, everything coming out
of mammals boxes of odds ana ends.
The afghan to match cost Just 10 cents,
expended in buying package of SEAL
brown Diamond dye. With this was
colored a sOiled white woven Shetland
shawl. A much-worn scarlet felt skirt
furnished an interlining. over which
the shawl was folded and securely
| sewed, and the effect of the brown and
red is warm and pretty.
A pair OF brown woolen stockings,
ribbed and costing 30 cents, are drawn
over Hal shoes and away above his
knees, and keep the little feet and legs
very warm as he rides in his sled Next
year, when he runs about out-of-dOors,
rubbers will 90 over these. The idea
Of over-stockings was brought from
Montreal, where Winter comfort is re-
duced to a science, and | find them
much preferable to the ordinary leg
gings, warmer and easier to wear un-
der rubbers.
Red mittens, the gift of an aunty,
complete Halls costume, protected in
which he goes out on the coldest DAYS
with safety, and | think that no one
seeing his attire would fancy that its
materials were furnished by the old
clothes closet.

The Little Children That Are Gone.

Why do they come. these little ones
that enter our homes by the gateway
of suffering, and that Iinger with us a
few months, uttering no words, smil-
ing in a mysterious silence, yet speak
ing eloquently all the time of the puri-
ty and sweetness Of heaven? Whv
must they open the tenderest fountains
OF natures only to leave them so soon
cloked with the bitter tears Of loss? 1t
is impossible wholly to answer such
questions of the tortured heart but
one can say, in general, that these
little temporary wanderers from
celestial home come and 90 because of
the great love of God. 1t is an inesti-
mable blessing to have been the parent
of a child that has the stamp of heaven
upon its brow, to hOld it i'll ones arms
to minister to it, to gaze fondly down
into the little upturned face, and to re-
joice in the unsullied beauty of its
smiles. and then-tO give it back to
God at His call, with the thought that
in heaven, as upon earth. it is still oUr
own child, 4 member Of the household
still, to be counted always rs one of
the children whom God hath given US.
Such love chastens and sanctilies the
hearts Of the father and mother, ear
ries them out beyond time and sense,
and gives them a hold upon the un-
seen. As things of great value always
cost, it is worth all the sorrow to have
known this holy affection and to have
this treasure in heaven.-CAicagO AeS-
Ua1lce.

The Power of Cocaine.

DR.. Leonard Corning, of this city,
well known as a writer on nervous dis
eases, recently read before the State
Medical society, in session at Albany,
an interesting paper on the cure OF
neuralgia by the use of cocaine. The
method devised by DR.. Corning for intro
ducing the remedy into the skin about
the afflicted nerves, and retaining it
there, is ingenious. A number of fine
needles are projected into the skin by
means of a delicate instrument pro-
vided with spring. This proc adure
is absolutely painless, owing to the
fineness of the needles and the exceed
ingly rapid action of the spring, which,
being released instantaneOusly, propels
the former through the outer layer of
the skin. Over the perforated portion
of the skin a sponge saturated with a
solution of cocaine is placed. This
sponge is connected with the positive
pole of galyanic battery. The cleo
trio circuit is then closed, procedure
which causes the cocaine to enter the
part, so that in about ten minutes the
skin is saturated and quite insensitive.
Over the medicated portion of the skin
piece of wire gauze is now placed
and secured in position by means of an
elastic band, which, on being tightened
sufficiently, cXerts a uniform pressure
upon the gauze. The effect of this
procedure is to cause closure of the
capillaries beneath the medicated skin,
1 !, lni Z bI,c
denied access to the part, can not wash
out the remedy and distribute it
throughout the general circulation.
Thus the action of the remedy upon
the nerves of the skin may be indeti-
nitely prolonged.-Nee0 York Nail and

Victor HugO's POETIC Plea.

The story is told that Victor Hugo,
concerning himself on behalf of one
condemned, called on King Louis
Philippe to intercede for the unfortun-
ate man. 1t was a second compass
sionate effort of the poets, but the
hour was late and the monarch, Being
now retired to bed, could not be seen.
Not to be wholly baked of his purpose,
Hugo left plea, in suddenly impro-
vised verse, on the table, to meet :he
Kings eye in the morning. There
had been a recent death in the royal
family of an idolized daughter, and a
birth, too, as well. OF these incidents
the poet availed himself in his quat-
rain, which, very closely rendered,
runs as follows:
by your lost angel, dove-lke from you
flown,
By this sweet royal babe, fair, fragile reed,
Mercy once mOrel Be mercy, mercy shOwni

The poets plea availed.

Why, anybody ought to know that
it's the short haul that costs the most
You see am sitting in railway
parlor car down in Maine writing
a postal card to a friend in Oregon.
Now, if | can get that card to the mail
car, only seven car lengths ahead of
me, the government will carry it 5000
miles for one cent. That is the long
haul. But it costs me a quarter to get
the porter to carry it to the postal ear.
That's the short haul Then the porter
loses it on his way or forgets all about
it. That's the shrinkage. And there
you have the whole transportion prob
lem in a nutsheil.-Burdette.

Lord Ailesbury's estate in Wiltshire

Lord Ailesbury's estate in Wiltshire
is, says the Wortd Oondon), one of the
most beautiful in England, Saver
make house, sometimes called Totem
ham park, lies in the midst of Saver
make forest. surrounded by the grand
est woodland scenery in Great Britain.
The forest is sixteen miles in circum-
ference and contains upward OF four
thousand acres. The trees are mag
nificent and story is often told of
how q visitor asked one of the forest
keepers when one of the avenues was
planted. "Plantedr' was the answer.
in tone in which amazement was
blended with indignation; them trees
never was planted; they are as old as
the world" The ferns are of extra
ordinary size and the breed of deer is
one of the best in the country. The late
marquis freely opened the forest 10 the
public and during eight months in the
year thousands of visitors roamed about
it, enjoying its beauties.

A Novel Kind of Gambling.

"Yes, we used to have a spasm of
goodness in the army every now and
then" said an old soldier yesterday.
THAT is to say, the officers would get
good and try to make the rest Of us
come up to their ideas. You see, when
time hung heavy on our hands we
would while away our leisure by an in
dulgence in the wicked game of chuck
a-luck, or in seven-up, or by occasional
poker game. | remember when we
were in Mississippi"
What is chuck-a-luck?"
Mercy alive! Didn't you ever see
a lot of fellows mark off numbers 1-2
-3-4-5-6, put the money on the
numbers and throw dice, and the fell
lows numbers turned so take the pot?
Well, as | was going on to say the Off
GERS had spasm, and decided to break
up gambling. They took up every
card and dice box in the camps. A lot
of fellows would each get little piece
of bread and smear on a bit of syrup
and lay out the spread and then all sit
and wait. There were q million flies
about camp, and in q minute you
would see a fly light on piece of
bread and go for the syrup. Well, the
owner of that piece of bread would
take the pot. That and other devices
for evading the orders of the officers
convinced them that they could not
head us off, and they gave us back our
cards and dice and we resumed busi-
ness.-Attantd Constitution.

Love.
dless than the sea or sky,

Love fs more bOundleSs than the sea or SKY,
Deeper than the depths of ocean or air:
Freer than all the wings of birds which fly,
Than moon or stars more beautiful and fair.
Love sweetens labor. At the close of day
The weary plowman to his home retires.
The laughing children meet MIN on the way,
And CHEEKY glows his humble hearthstone
fires.
Cares come, and sorrows with their blighting
BREATH
Sickness and famine spread their fearful
pail;
Strong men bear down before the reaper
Death,
And one by one homes cherished idols fall.
But love sustains the heart and strengthens
to endure;
Bends Ger the couch Of grief with words of
cheer.
SoOthes with its tone the pain it cannot cure,
And on its breast the dying feel no fear.
1t dignifes the lowly heart and softens pride;
Brings comfort 10 the soul by sorrow riyen.
With love daily dweler at the fireside,
Your cottage walls bind in an earthly
heaven. -Jacinta jacques.
